How to configure process start (no trigger)?

The Process start trigger runs the section without an external trigger — e.g. when you click "Run" in the editor or when the system invokes the section on a schedule.

When you need it

  • Testing scenario logic in the editor.
  • Manual run of the section (Run button).
  • Section invoked on a schedule (cron) or from another section via action.

What to know

  • Process start — a trigger type that does not require an external event (message, HTTP request, system event).
  • Node Inspector — the right panel when a node is selected, where parameters are configured.

Before you start

  • You are signed in with integrator or administrator rights.
  • You have a section with a Start node added (via «+» button → Start).
  • Node Inspector is open (right panel when the node is selected).

Steps

  1. Select the Start node on the canvas.
  2. In Node Inspector, in the Trigger type field, select Process start.
  3. No additional configuration is needed.

Result: The section runs when you click "Run" in the editor or when the system invokes it on a schedule.

What happens next

The section is ready for manual run or scheduled invocation. Verify it works by clicking "Run" in the editor toolbar.
